摘要： The present disclosure relates to the delivery of polynucleotides and/or oligonucleotides using silica delivery platforms, e.g., silica carriers or protocells. In particular, in the present disclosure, polynucleotides in the form of plasmids expressing siRNA may be administered as cargo in the silica delivery platform to a patient or subject to inhibit and/or treat cancer in a patient. In one aspect, the silica delivery platform that have been charged with cargo comprising plasmid DNA (in particular, CRISPR ds plasmid DNA) which expresses siRNA, shRNA, mRNA and other RNA which may be used to administer these plasmids to patients in order to effect inhibition of cancer cells (especially including apoptosis of those cancer cells) and effective and/or prophylaxis of cancer, as well as numerous pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and/or other disease states and/or conditions. In another aspect, the silica delivery platform comprises a biological package (e.g., plasmid nucleic acid, such as a for a CRISPR/Cas system) that interacts with a genomic sequence to either activate or inhibit gene expression. Such vehicles can be employed to control gene activation and repression in a host (e.g., a patient) and/or a pathogen.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to protocells that are useful in the treatment and prevention of viral infections, including but not limited to infections caused by a Hendra virus and Nipah virus (NiV). The present disclosure relates to protocells that are useful in the treatment of bacterial infections, including antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. The protocells are coated with a lipid bi- or multilayer comprising at least one moiety that targets a viral cellular receptor and at least one moiety that ruptures a virally-infected cell membrane. The present disclosure further relates to novel mesoporous metal oxide nanoparticles and related protocells that are useful in the treatment and/or prevention of a wide variety of disorders, including a cancer or a bacterial or viral infection. Such nanoparticles and protocells can be functionalized to allow for synergistic loading of a wide variety of active ingredients.

摘要： The present invention is directed to protocells for specific targeting of hepatocellular and other cancer cells which comprise a nanoporous silica core with a supported lipid bilayer; at least one agent which facilitates cancer cell death (such as a traditional small molecule, a macromolecular cargo (e.g. siRNA or a protein toxin such as ricin toxin A-chain or diphtheria toxin A-chain) and/or a histone-packaged plasmid DNA disposed within the nanoporous silica core (preferably supercoiled in order to more efficiently package the DNA into protocells) which is optionally modified with a nuclear localization sequence to assist in localizing protocells within the nucleus of the cancer cell and the ability to express peptides involved in therapy (apoptosis/cell death) of the cancer cell or as a reporter, a targeting peptide which targets cancer cells in tissue to be treated such that binding of the protocell to the targeted cells is specific and enhanced and a fusogenic peptide that promotes endosomal escape of protocells and encapsulated DNA. Protocells according to the present invention may be used to treat cancer, especially including hepatocellular (liver) cancer using novel binding peptides (c-MET peptides) which selectively bind to hepatocellular tissue or to function in diagnosis of cancer, including cancer treatment and drug discovery.

摘要： Various embodiments provide materials and methods for synthesizing protocells for use in targeted delivery of cargo components to cancer cells. In one embodiment, the lipid bilayer can be fused to the porous particle core to form a protocell. The lipid bilayer can be modified with targeting ligands or other ligands to achieve targeted delivery of cargo components that are loaded within the protocell to a target cell, e.g., a type of cancer. Shielding materials can be conjugated to the surface of the lipid bilayer to reduce undesired non-specific binding.
